  • Indigenous Demographics, South East LHIN Calendar Year 2016
    Indigenous Demographics, South East LHIN Calendar Year 2016 Definitions and other methodology notes can be found at the end of this document. Disclaimer: Aboriginal information was obtained from the 2016 Census. In 2016, the long-form questionnaire was re-introduced to Canadians, including residents on Aboriginal Reserves and Settlements.1 While in 2011, when the National Household Survey was administered, there were 36 reserves or settlements that were incompletely enumerated, only 14 reserves were incompletely enumerated in 2016. Fortunately, the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in the South East LHIN was not affected in either year. As a measure of data quality, the census provides global non-response rates (GNR) for each geographic area. It combines household and item non-response. The GNR is also used as a main dissemination criterion associated with the quality of the census estimates. For example, the census estimates for any geographic area with a global non-response rate greater than or equal to 50% are not published in the standard products. The estimates for such areas have such a high level of error that they should not be released under most circumstances. In 2011, there were eleven municipalities in the South East LHIN that had global non-response rates greater than 50% and could not be published; however, in 2016, there were no municipalities in the South East LHIN that had rates higher than 50%. Information for all municipalities are available. Aboriginal Identity In 2016, 4.5% of the South East LHIN population reported an Aboriginal identity (i.e. being First Nations, Metis or Inuit and/or being a Registered or Treaty Indian).
